Halfway to somewhere…
Today marks a couple of important family milestones that I want to record in case I forget.
Mr L is half way through Primary School. Half way.
Mr A is halfway through his one-on-one time with me. 2 1/2 years until he starts school.
It excites me and scares me at the same time. I’m actually glad that they are 6 years apart so that I can appreciate moments like this. I’m not sure whether I would if they were closer in age. Maybe I would.
Mr L got his school report yesterday. Excellent for his grade level, outstanding when you consider he skipped a grade. We’re very proud.
Mr A is talking my arms and legs off. It’s been very windy here this week and it has caused his behaviour to go off the feral-meter. It’s a big case of the terrible twos and then some.

Win my store – last days!
I’ve decided to keep this going for a little longer, due to there apparently being some store downtime while I was away.
But be warned, I will be drawing a winner this week!

So, we’re back home. We had a ball but it’s good to be back. Mr G still has a couple of days off, so I’m heading out to spend some time with a lovely friend.

We will be just about home this time next week and there’s still so much to see. We’re back into green country side and still getting used to it after days of dry country. It’s been sensational. I’m up to 500 photos and counting…
